Though as I'm colour blind - I'm not the best person to ask for guidance :D Be careful though, 'cause they can mean 3 penalty points for use on a moving vehicle.:~( John THINK BRITISH THINK MG ROVER benno 03-04-2002, 18:48 I've already got mine, a set of 4 all in blue. Cost me around £140. I had them on my MGf and it looked great :D Roaming around the countryside at night, all you could see was this blue glow... :) Let me find the company I got them from. benno 03-04-2002, 18:54 The company: CTC AutoFashion URL: http://www.ctc-autofashion.co.uk Direct URL to neons: http://www.ctc-autofashion.co.uk/ctca/product.asp?dept%5Fid=201&pf%5Fid=AXL1024 There service is good, I placed my order off the phone. Wasnt to confident about the online ordering on that site. :) Cheers!

Just like you may prefer a nodding dog on your parcel shelf, I wouldnt slate you for that but its not me. :) They look pretty good if they are installed correctly and not tackily installed like some boy racers mooching around where the tube is on full display. :D Dr Dave 03-04-2002, 20:01 Yes, nicely fitted neons on a classy car when it is parked up looks nice........ but too many boy racers run up and down the seafronts of the South West with badly fitted neons, this tends to ruin their reputation as a desireable accessory, IMO. benno 04-04-2002, 01:24 Dr Dave wrote: Yes, nicely fitted neons on a classy car when it is parked up looks nice........ but too many boy racers run up and down the seafronts of the South West with badly fitted neons, this tends to ruin their reputation as a desireable accessory, IMO. Totally agree Dave... The Fast and The Furious has great examples of how they should be fitted... If anyones ever seen it. :) I wouldnt drive around with them on anyways, have done but not after I got warned about the fine and points! Likewise my fog lights... Groan. :P benno 04-04-2002, 10:18 Dr Dave, any idea if I can get one of the switches for the centre console, possibly where the AirCon one goes (Its blank at the moment, didnt get that option ) next to the hazard lights... I'd prefer a nice switch instead of a custom fit one in the foot well. Dr Dave 04-04-2002, 10:29 Yep :-) the air con switch for a 25 is about £6+VAT We fitted one into a 25 the other day for a similar purpose =P David Lee Newsham 04-04-2002, 20:11 NEONS ? NEONS ! NEONS !!!!! Oh dear, what has become of the MG marque ! JohnSwitzer 04-04-2002, 21:24 David If you ever visit Northern Ireland - be sure and stay well away from Co. Armagh!! There's a Rover 213 - complete with black bodywork, heavily tinted rear and side windows, a ZS180 syle spoiler (black of course), side skirts, dramatically lowered suspension, (at a guess) 17" alloys, touring car style front spoiler, tinted lights and a sunband across the front (black of course) with 'The Thing' emblazoned in silver across the front of it. The finishing touch has to be the numberplate which has a lovely little 'verse' on it... 'Touch ma Car. **** yer A*' Mind you.... doesn't have any neons:D A typical Rover driver? John THINK BRITISH THINK MG ROVER Dr Dave 05-04-2002, 09:41 Hmmm heavenly sent! :) [Edited by Dr Dave on 05-04-2002 at 11:43 AM GMT]
